The annual European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) provides a comparative assessment of the research and innovation performance of EU Member States and selected third countries, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of their research and innovation systems. It helps countries assess areas in which they need to concentrate their efforts in order to boost their innovation performance.
The EIS 2023 is the third edition based on the new measurement framework introduced in 2021. The EIS 2023 covers all EU Member States, 11 other European countries, and, at a less detailed level, 11 global competitors. Compared to previous reports, Israel is no longer included due to a lack of statistical data.
Based on their performance relative to the EU average, Member States fall into four different performance groups.
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, and Sweden are Innovation Leaders with innovation performance well above the EU average (>125% of EU average). Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Ireland, and Luxembourg are Strong Innovators with performance above the EU average. Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain are Moderate Innovators with performance below the EU average. Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia are Emerging Innovators with performance well below the EU average (<70% of EU average).
The report is prepared by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and is available here.
